Meet Bailey

Licensed Therapist. Skills-Based Supporter. Real-Life Problem Solver.​​

​Hi, I’m Bailey Trahan—a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC – NH 2378), Master Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor (MLADC – NH 0132), and Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor I (LADC I – MA 23044). I’ve spent over 13 years helping adults navigate the messy, meaningful, and sometimes overwhelming work of personal change.

I believe therapy should be practical, collaborative, and rooted in real life. It should help you feel supported and understood—but also give you tools to take with you long after the session ends.

My work began in correctional settings, where I became more interested in understanding behavior than punishing it. That experience shaped my belief that people don’t need to be “fixed”—they need support, clarity, and strategies that make change feel possible.

What You Can Expect From Me

Clients often describe me as:

  • Relatable

  • Honest

  • Direct—but never harsh
     

I show up fully, without judgment, and hold space for what’s hard while helping you stay focused on what’s next.

I don’t believe therapy should be one-size-fits-all. Our work will be shaped around your goals, your experiences, and your capacity. Some sessions might be skill-building and structured; others may focus more on reflection, validation, and planning. We move with intention—but at a pace that feels right.
